Best Genesis vocalist.
Who is the best Genesis vocalist?
I know I may be committing blastophamy here, but I will say Phil Collins.
I think his vocal range is wider and he put more energy into Gabriel's songs on Seconds Out than what Gabriel ever did.

Re: Best Genesis vocalist.
Peter Gabriel for me. I've never been a big fan of singing drummers anyway, as I feel it detracts from their real job. Also I think Collins took them in a far too commercial direction. I also prefer Gabriel's solo stuff.

Re: Best Genesis vocalist.
Gabriel for me too. That is the classic Genesis. I like Phil Collins, and I like that era of the band, but Gabriel was the best.

Blasphemy? I'll say
Vocal range of Collins? Have you ever heard the original studio version of Suppers Ready? Its a 25 or 30 minute epic prog rock track with incredible vocal intensity that Phil "Can't Hurry Love" Collins just insulted with his poppy lightweight crap.
Its like comparing Ian Gillan's vocals on the original In Rock studio version of Child In Time with Joe Lynn Turner trying to sing the same song live. The intensity of the original couldn't be matched.
Are you seriously suggesting that Phil "Can't Hurry Love" / "Easy Lover" Collins sang with anything like the same intensity as Gabriel did on Suppers Ready? Its a joke, right?

Phil for me too. And to answer in advance, no, its not a joke. To me hes way way better than Gabriel. Better range, better tone.

Re: Best Genesis vocalist.
When Collins started doing the lead vocals he was alrite, he did a fairly good impression of Gabriel.
I find it hard to really rate his performances once '3 Stooges' Genesis starts up, all that material was so appauling his vocals (just like everythng else to do with it) grates for me.

Re: Best Genesis vocalist.
Collins is probably a better drummer than Gabriel, but other than that... 
Collins is a great musician, very talented but when it comes to vocals and charisma, Gabriel is by far superior.

Better range than the master, Gabriel. Don't make me laugh. What a sad joke that is. Next you'll be telling us that Joe Lynn Turner is way better than Gillan and Coverdale combined, with better range and tone than both of them. Yeah, right.  
You've obviously never heard real Genesis. Genesis failed to exist after Gabriel's departure and was a complete sham. As big a change from real Peter Green blues based true original Fleetwood Mac to the poppy AOR wishy washy elevator muzac sham that went on to falsely bear the Fleetwood Mac name.
The real Genesis made collossal albums which you have obviously never heard:
1970 Trespass
1971 Nursery Cryme
1972 Foxtrot
1973 Selling England By The Pound
1974 The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (double studio album)
These compare with Purple's In Rock, Fireball, MH, WDWTWA phase and halcyon days peak between 1970-1973.
It is the same for Genesis. The sham that went on to maquarade as 'Genesis' certainly wasn't and the reality is that the band Genesis ceased to exist. Genesis were a prog rock band, with serious credentials which lightweight poppy Phil "Can't Hurry Love" / "Easy Lover" Collins made a complete joke of and made 'Genesis' a laughing stock among the prog rock masses who deserted them to be replaced by pop fan legions feeding on the poppy Phil "Can't Hurry Love" Collins lighgtweight poppy crap.
Collins wasn't even the original Genesis drummer.
Stuff such as Get Em Out By Friday, Suppers Ready, Musical Box, The Knife - that was Genesis. Not the poppy crap that was put out by a band calling themselves 'Genesis' fronted by Phil "Can't Hurry Love" Collins.
The true master and only vocalist worthy of the title in Genesis was Gabriel, and who was inspired by the vocalist in the band Family.
